I always want to see a white Christmas, and this year I certainly get to. The mid-west has been getting a lot of snow lately, but not even close to as much as the East and Northeast. Huge storms of snow, sleet, and freezing rain have been hitting the Eastern U.S. for days now, and it just doesn't seem to stop. The storm is believed to be the cause of 3 deaths already, and most likely several more. Maine Police Sgt. Andrew Donovan said that the best thing anybody could do right now is stay home, and the Sergeant is right. Visibility in the snow was less than 200 yards, and if you were driving with a car in front of you, you couldn't even see it. Meteorologists have said that 18 inches of snow are possible in the New England area, and that 14 inches are a possibility in some parts of Michigan. The storm has canceled hundreds of flights as well. Even some churches had to cancel Sunday services due to terrible driving conditions. Although I love a good, white Christmas, I don't think that quite this much snow and ice was necessary. Hopefully, the weather will shape up in time for the holidays, and no more casualties will have to be suffered. Here's a link to an article about the storm. That's it for now! Later!!
